As long as you feel good in something, it doesn't matter what other people think. You just have to own it. You'll never regret wearing something you really love.
Lucy Boynton
My absolute favorite film is Hal Ashby's 'Harold and Maude.'
If you stop trying to restrict yourself by defining yourself and love in other people's terms, it's the most liberating thing.
All of our family holidays were always work trips for my parents, so my sister and I would sit somewhere or find a kids' club while my parents would be interviewing people.
I think 'Ballet Shoes' was a very pivotal role for me. I was about 14 then, and it was an incredible cast: Eileen Atkins, Victoria Wood, Emilia Fox, Harriet Walters. All these incredible women.
I am so honoured to be supporting the Elton John AIDS Foundation and their mission making London and our global cities AIDS-free.
I don't think I've done anything quite like 'Gypsy' before. Especially the honest way that it is written.
The pressure to look good is intense. It is hard to be immune to that and the self-consciousness that comes with it.
I think that's a place where we are, as a society, finally starting to get to now: where your sexuality doesn't have to define you - and you don't have to define it.
Being able to disappear into every film that I do really works in my favor.
I remember watching that scene in 'My Girl' where Anna Chlumsky cries at a funeral. I would cry with her and be like, 'Yeah, I think I could do that. I could do a funeral scene.'
I've always liked higher necklines, and Mia Farrow is my ultimate inspiration. The baby-doll dresses with big Peter Pan collars that she wore in 'Rosemary's Baby' were iconic. I've been drawn to similar looks ever since.
I've been acting for a long time - I started when I was 12.
Oh, my God, I would be the most uncool band member, ever.
'Gypsy' follows a New York therapist, played by Naomi Watts. It explores the boundaries between patient and doctor - she kind of starts to play puppeteer with her clients.
My skin's rather difficult to fix, and I'm incredibly sensitive.
Nic Hoult is just such a brilliant actor.
People keep referring to 'Sing Street' as a musical, but I really never felt it was that. I can't really define it as a musical.
It's exciting not knowing what tomorrow, or the next month, or the next year holds.
Acting has influenced my approach to beauty in both practical and fun ways as well as influencing my style. I do like to be more adventurous - for some reason, I feel safer in that.
Anything that Osgood Perkins writes, you can sign me up!
I think it makes such a huge difference when the director has acting experience as well because it just means that he not only has a view of the film as a whole and the intentions of the scene in terms of the audience, he also has an actor's instinct of how to communicate something to us.
I tend to look very different with every role that I do, so I don't know if anybody remembers me or recognizes me at all, including people that I've worked with and know really well.
I don't really have a specific formula I follow to find the right script or role. It's always just very instinctive.
Being part of the Queen story and knowing what Freddie Mercury went through before he died of AIDS has really shown me how far we've come in fighting this disease.
It was strange, especially because all of the projects I did when I was young, I was always the youngest on set or the only child, so I spent my formative years hanging out with 24-year-olds when I was 13.
When you're playing someone that's real, there is that hanging weight of how will they feel when they see this: will I make them feel exposed in some way, and how do I absolutely avoid doing that while playing this as accurately and empathetically as I possibly can?
If you're creating your character, you can have full ownership of the emotional range they go through. You can make bolder choices.
My parents always traveled a lot with their job, so it became embedded in my nature quite early on that I would crave that constant change and traveling.
I was born in New York and moved to London with my family when I was five. I did have an American accent for a couple of months, and then it went a way.
An all-girls school, when you have 800 girls from the age of 11 to 18, you would think, should be a prime opportunity to really inject a sense of confidence and power. And instead, we were very much taught in relation to men, in terms of what the brother school would think of us.
We were always told not to wear skirts that were too short, because what will the male teachers think of you? Or, when we started sharing classes with boys in sixth form, what will they think of you if you are wearing a miniskirt to lessons?
There were years in between of going to auditions pretty much every day and getting nothing.
Comedy kind of terrifies me. I feel pretty intimidated.
My dream would be to be like Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads. Her style and everything about her, she's just the coolest human being.
Paul McCartney has always been the love of my life.
My skin gets really dry and stressed from all the traveling I do, so I've had to find reliable products to help that.
I realized on my first day on set of 'Miss Potter' that there wasn't going to be anything else that could make me as happy or feel as fulfilled as acting does.
It was strange doing that transition from teenager to more adult roles, but I think it just makes it more exciting.
I've been every hair color under the sun for different projects.
I find that I'm quite experimental. I'm drawn to the brighter and weirder things.
I want to be an actress when I grow up. Actually, I don't want to wait until I'm grown up. I want to be a child actress. I want to be an actress before I'm 13.
I want to act every second of every day.
Good horror is about so much more than slashing: it's a way of examining grief and loss of self.
The people I look up to most are actresses such as Kate Winslet and Amy Schumer, who have never been size zero and are judged on their bodies of work, not their bodies.
When you're younger, you have a perfect plan for your life: I thought I would be engaged at 24, married at 26, have my first child at 28 and my second at 30. But as you get closer to each age, you realise it's unfeasible.
I never wanted to take off the pink gown I wore to the 'Gypsy' premiere. It was a magical dress for a magical moment.
For the red carpet, I like a platform heel, but for everyday, it's mostly Converse high-tops or booties with black tights.
When it's a real person, you want to be as honest as you can and approach it in a similar way as you would any other character, but with that restriction and wanting to respect the boundaries of that person and not be intrusive in any way.
When you love someone absolutely and want them to be their truest self - even though that means losing them in some capacity - that is the most important thing.
